About Me

20 year old female.
I love pole dancing, aerial silks, Jamaican dancehall, and Ben and Jerry's Ice cream.
I feel comfortable in just about any situation.
I'm currently taking a BFA in Acting and a Master's in Management at the University of British Columbia.
I was a commissioned playwright for the UBC Player's Centennial Celebration this last spring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can I please put two?

I lived in Finland for a year as an exchange student and learned to speak Finnish!

And I worked with entrepreneurs in Ethiopia last summer with the Arc Initiative. We put on a workshop for them to learn some business tools that they might not have had the opportunity to learn in Ethiopia! Then we moved into about a month of consulting for the individual businesses.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some dancehall and pole dancing basics, some Finnish and Canadian recipes.
I'm always open to learning new recipes too, new dance moves, new languages!
I can share some Canadian treats if you request them, as long as they're legal in your country! (So no Kinder eggs for the USA unfortunately :( )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty good baker with both Canadian and Finnish recipes!
I can speak French and Finnish, and a bit of Tagalog as well (my comprehension is much better than my speech)

Countries I’ve Visited
